Mmm, I'm sure they'll realise soon that having goofball looking aliens is no way to run a massively successful cult TV show, famous for the last sixty odd years for having goofball aliens._________________Once, at a local NOW meeting where I was the only male among about a dozen women, a feminism trivia contest was held. I came in third.

The writing pulled me in for five seasons. It could do more for the genre.

For a little context on where I'm coming from, I've shown Sinfest to other people and they couldn't stand the anime influenced style. It's a shame because its potential audience is put off by great storytelling.

Canopus, I'm up & down on Who, love a lot of it, hate a bunch of it, but whilst being a 'cult show' it is also the centre piece of the BBC's light entertainment schedule for the entire year. It takes centre stage on Xmas day, ffs, the biggest TV watching day in the British calender.

I watched Looper tonight. I made a joke on fb about the finger losing scene, but more because I wanted to remind a certain girl that we had done the nasty in the not-to-distant pasty, and I knew she was online right then. (For fb friends, no, it is certainly not the girl who replied to that update, she's such a sweet, lovely, darling, heavily pregnant, platonic female friend).

Doctor Who's not really a movie. And regardless of budgetal constraints, I still think the franchise should stop making the aliens look so silly.

They are making a doctor who movie, if you haven't heard. I think it's supposed to be some big hollywood blockbuster, so pretty much it's gonna suck. you'll probably get you realistic aliens, though._________________FormerlyGreen_Finn
